Wooden box by Anastasia Kuznetsova

Hello! Anastasia Kuznetsova is here! I want to show you a banker in the style of a mixed media. Before that, I only made boxes of cardboard, and then I took as a basis the real wooden workpiece.

To make the texture of the flat workpiece more interesting, I crumpled the paper-tissue and glued it to the clear gesso. Next, I used a flower mask and a transparent crackel paste. Of course, you could have used a mastichine without a mask, but I wanted to play.

Next step I applied the modeling paste through a stencil with numbers. Then I used sprays.

There is a little secret in the work. As a finishing coat, I used new waxes. I'm just in love with it. It gave a light color, an amazing delicate shine. And most importantly, it helped create a protective finish layer, because the wax after drying does not react with water and fingers.
